Honda Earns Multiple Honors in AutoPacific's 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards and Total Car Score's 2012 Top Scoring Car Awards
Honda has captured three of AutoPacific's 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards for the 2012 Honda CR-V, Odyssey and Pilot, and four of Total Car Score's inaugural Top Scoring Car Awards for the 2012 Honda Ridgeline, Fit, Odyssey and CR-V.
"It's fantastic to have so much of Honda's outstanding product line represented in these awards," said Michael Accavitti, vice president of marketing operations for American Honda. "AutoPacific's awards tell us we're creating truly satisfied owners, and the Total Car Score awards demonstrate how widely and well regarded Honda's products are among top authoritative sites."
AutoPacific's 2012 Vehicle Satisfaction Awards (VSA) are based on over 75,000 surveys completed by owners of new cars and light trucks in the United States in the first quarter of 2012.The VSAs are based solely on owner input, and are an accurate measurement of how satisfied new car and light truck buyers are with their recently purchased vehicle.
The Top Scoring Car Awards are based on Total Car Score's ranking formula, which utilizes the ratings from trusted automotive sites converted into a simple percentage. These ratings are translated into a single Total Car Score that allows car shoppers to quickly and easily compare cars.

Looks like we've got another happy customer, folks! Many thanks to Zack, the author of this five-star review.
"I had been taking my Civic to Dublin Honda for service (after purchasing in Tracy) however they were always so rude. When I moved to Livermore I began taking my Civic to them for Service. All I can say is "Wow!" They were so much more professional and treated me with kindness, never try to overcharge for anything (dealership maintenance is more expensive, but for the quality of service and the loyalty, I will pay a little more).
Recently my wife and I worked with John in Sales and bought a used 2011 Honda Pilot. I have never had such an easy going car buying experience. John was open and honest about everything, which was new. And there was no pressure at all. They also helped us extend our warranty at no cost, knowing we were working on a budget and they wanted us to be happy. I could not have asked for anything more." --Zack Z.

Your Weekly Maintenance Tip: Caring for Windshield Cracks and Dings
Checking your windshield is important because a ding that occurs in spring or summer can cause a break in the winter. Most people drive more in warm weather and more driving means more vibration, which can cause a ding to expand into a cracked windshield. Here are some things to keep in mind: -Don't touch a ding or attempt to repair it yourself. Without special equipment and training, you will only contaminate the damaged area, making repairs hard to complete. - As a temporary measure, put a piece of clear tape, like packing tape, over the ding. This won't keep the ding from spreading, but will help prevent contamination. -Don't wash the vehicle-especially through the car wash. Soap and water can contaminate the spot and a high-pressure wash can cause the ding to expand. -Driving a vehicle with a windshield ding causes vibration and exposure to the elements cause the ding to spread.

Uni-Cub: Honda’s Latest Electric Vehicle
Honda Motor Co. unveiled its latest electric vehicle Tuesday, but it is unlike any of the cars and motorcycles the company is best known for. Rather, the UNI-CUB single-seat, unicycle-like vehicle looks something like a vacuum cleaner with a bicycle saddle mounted on top. Indeed, viewed from the side, its black-and-white color scheme makes it look strikingly like a penguin.
Honda’s new personal mobility device is guided by a small wheel that protrudes from the back. It is intended to be used to get around the inside of large buildings like airports and museums. It was developed based on Honda’s earlier robotic personal transport device, the U3-X, which was unveiled three years ago.
On the UNI-CUB, riders move backward and forward, side-to-side or diagonally at a top speed of six kilometers per hour just by shifting their weight. It is latest product of the robotic technologies Honda has been developing, the most recognizable example of which is probably the ASIMO humanoid robot, which appeared in 2000.
Honda plans to sell the UNI-CUB on a commercial basis. As a step toward this, it will begin testing it in cooperation with Japan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
Asked about his impressions of riding the UNI-CUB, the museum’s director, Mamoru Mohri — a former astronaut with NASA’s space shuttle program–described it as “floaty,” and “like being in zero-gravity.”
The UNI-CUB’s main competitor among personal mobility devices will likely be the Segway Human Transporter, which has been around since 2001. The Segway has two wheels about the size of those on an electric scooter that support a platform on which the rider stands. The device is controlled with a bicycle-like handlebar that comes up to chest height. The Segway can be used both indoors and outdoors.
Honda’s engineers say the UNI-CUB has its advantages. The rider’s hands are always free, and the saddle-style package makes it easy for the feet to reach the ground. Such features are important for “harmony” when weaving between and around walkers, they say.
But the UNI-CUB’s developers are most interested in how much value potential users will find in the vehicle, which will ultimately determine its price. An indication might be the price of the Segway, which costs around Y750,000 ($9,300).

Honda Manufacturing began production on the new 2013 Acura ILX at a Honda plant in Greensburg, Indiana. Honda Associates and community partners were there to celebrate the first ILX rolling off the assembly line Monday morning as they were all gathered to mark its launch. The new Acura sedan will be exclusively produced at the Indiana plant. The president of Honda Manufacturing of Indiana, Jun Nishimoto, had this to say about the exciting event, "Acura has a sparkling reputation and we are thrilled to build the gateway vehicle to this brand at our Greensburg facility. As the exclusive builder of the ILX, HMIN has a big responsibility. Our associates meet this challenge by working together as one team and today we are ready for our customers to share our pride in this beautiful new product.” The new Acura ILX will come with both gasoline and gas-electric hybrid options.

"This all-new Acura luxury sedan is closely linked to the future of Acura," said Jeff Conrad, vice president and general manager of Acura for American Honda. “…the Acura ILX is the gateway to the Acura brand.” The Acura ILX hybrid version will be a groundbreaking vehicle for Honda as it will be Honda’s first hybrid car to be made in the United States, as well as Acura’s first ever hybrid model.
